[QUOTE="smokey422, post: 181424, member: 46"] I usually pack with the 3-step method: fill half full and press down LIGHTLY, fill to the top and press down a little bit harder, but still fairly lightly, then fill to the top or a bit above and press down a little harder. When you tamp while smoking, only put enough pressure on the tamper to move the ashes down to where they contact the burning tobacco. Don't over-tamp or do it too much. Relights are no sin, after 42 years I still can't smoke a bowl to the bottom on one match. You should try more than one type of tobacco to find out which type you prefer. A good start would be a light English, a VA/Per, a Burley, and an aromatic. If you have a local pipe shop, ask them about these types of tobaccos. If not, places like Boswell's, Pipes and Cigars, Smoking Pipes, 4 Noggins, and a host of others can give you advice and get you started. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
